Armed robber gets more prison time

WHITE PLAINS - A 50-year-old Bronx man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday for an armed carjacking in Pelham Manor, the latest punishment for a convicted felon who is now expected to spend the rest of his life in prison.

David Piparo was sentenced in October to 22 years in federal prison in three other robberies, including a $100,000 jewelry store robbery from Tes Oros in Pelham Manor on Nov. 30, 2010.

Wednesday's sentence in Westchester County Court related to a Nov. 24, 2010, robbery in which he approached a 55-year-old woman outside the CVS Pharmacy at 4760 Boston Post Road and ordered her at gunpoint to exit her BMW, then stole the car, police said. The next month, Piparo was arrested by New York City police at an apartment in the Bronx. The stolen car was located nearby. Piparo pleaded guilty Sept. 16 to first-degree robbery.

He had previously been convicted of three violent felonies in three robberies in the Bronx.

"Cooperation with our law enforcement partners ? ensures that this violent felony offender will effectively serve the rest of his life behind bars," Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore said in a statement.
